Each type of disaster presents unique challenges and in these critical moments, logistics plays a pivotal role. Today we talk with Angela Ruth Corbett. She has extensive experience in disaster response logistics and can shed light on the many challenges involved in setting up and supplying disaster sites. She is widely recognized as a leader and innovator. I met Angela while she worked at a major insurance company. Today she is working for a major power company.
In addition to comparing and contrasting the logistics needs for an insurance company versus a power company, Angela shares real-life experiences which help emphasize the need for planning, teamwork, and communications…and being creative doesn’t hurt either! She reminds us that there are great responsibilities in logistics, but also great rewards.
So next time you see a power line being repaired or a claims adjuster assisting after a disaster, you’ll know about the intricate logistics web that supports them.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
